wild foamy

i have to agree with cynic here, i've had a couple of mates who have bought brand new 50s/125s and one has wrote his off and isnt riding any more, the other has sold his on. they were all paying £800+ for insurance on their peds but i was only paying £200 for my DT (which i bought for a steal at £300). not only that... but i had the fastest ped of the lot, nothing beats over taking a brand new Aerox on a scabby little DT ... that was until one of my mates upgraded to an Aprillia RS50.

Hey and welcome (back) to the forum . nice set of wheels you got, bit of an incentive for me to take my full bike test and get on my XJ600, but the car is just toooo comfy . out of interest, will you be taking a full bike test aswell as full car or just ride the 125 until your CBT expires?

you can download and print the form on the DVLA website then send it to the DVLA, i downloaded the form as a PDF when i got the jawa but never needed it,

decided to revive this old thread... got the fork legs back but they haven't been touched, anyone know a place in/around telford or Birmingham that will be able to grind and re-chrome them at a reasonable cost?, im again on the lookout for some RD350 forks to swap out for the jawas ones, i know its not a straight swap but i will work it out put the forks back together anyway so i could get it out of the shed, will be taking it up to cosford as soon as i find a suitable trailer

but trying to is all part of the fun now seriously... any ideas as to whats causing the problem?, its got wires coming out of it which means its probably electrical... not my strongest point (tried wiring up a towbar and got the indicators crossed with the sidelights, so with the indicators on the sidelights would flash aswell, caused no end of piss-taking in the motor club >.<)

drewps, im an engineer!, my job revolves around the ability to tinker. and its fun...

hiya peeps Was tinkering with the XJ most of this week and have a bit of a problem with the rev counter, it works to an extent but tends to stay at 2k when idling and revs to about 3-3.5k when i rev the engine, but i know for the fact that the engine revs are normal... from what i can see, its not a cable driven tacho... so im all out of ideas now :/ any help appreciated - Steve

picked up a tin of hammerite and engine block paint to tidy up the grabrail, footrests and engine head, looking absolutely mint now! . aiming to be road legal by the end of next month, can't wait its going to be absolutely mint XD, anyone fancy a rideout some time?

today was eventful, managed to flood it this morning but after a bit of persuasion she started, and f*ck me what a bike!, found a quiet corner of camp and gave it a bit of stick and its sure got a lot more poke than my DT, very pleasing exhaust note with that motad 4-1 system. would like the idea of touring, its got potential and im sure some, gave it a good wash and wax this morning and all that needs doing is the grab-rail where the paint has flaked off and a couple of rust spots on the tank, but for a 20 year old bike its to be expected. also on the look out for a cheap stainless steel screw set to tart the new girl up a bit, maybe a set of engine bars if a set comes along, i will try and keep this one unmolested camera is u/s, so will have to borrow a mates camera some time and get some snaps. always did prefer the older women... and no blackhat, Goff will always have a special place in my heart

Heya peeps!. ive gone and got myself a 1990 yamaha XJ600 from the loverly Janie, will get some pictures as soon as it gets light outside. runs sweet as a nut but in need of a new battery, cant wait to thrash it around

Jack and Jill went up the hill, So jack could lick Jills f*nny. Jack got a shock, and a mouthfull of cock 'cus Jill was a pre-op tranny

Jim, tried calling you recently and cant seem to get through, what news is it youd like to tell me?.

erm, im currently at some activity centre at Grantown-on-spea just for a week, im currently at DCAE Cosford which is not far from birmingham. would like the idea of being out in the highlands for a few years but not too sure about moving so far away from home... :/ im only little, you see... if i can be bothered i will upload a few pictures

hey peeps im currently away in scotland for a week with "work", and so far ive been mountaineering, cross country skiing and have a 2-day expedition tomorrow!, thought i'd share my pics with y'all, but seeing as there are around 80 of them i will just link to my FB account http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3414971&id=526263960#/album.php?aid=142426&id=526263960 enjoy peeps, more pics to come

its the devils magic...

Cheers ricky, im going to pick up my XJ600 next friday morning and can't wait! , the touring idea is still in the back of my mind so not all hope is lost!

i gathered that mike (eventually), hence my last post, lol i work have long stressfull days, sometimes takes a while for things to click cheers though

progress peeps, had to "modify" the exhaust mounting bracket and drilled the first two holes (one on each side) and got the towbar roughly mounted so i can get a general idea of what modifications are needed (so far the only one i think it needs is the towhitch mounting plate needs to be brought up a bit which is an easy enough job, will continue with it tomorrow when i can get access to the service ramp will hopefully be picking up the XJ in a week if all goes well!

oh okay, seeing as its a RAF affair do i need to bring military ID?, and would i have to authorise this with my CO? looks like its either the Jawa or the XJ as i cant take the DT on the motorway ¬¬

Hey peeps, does anyone in/near RAF cosford (i.e. telford, wolverhampton, birmingham) have a bike trailer or a small trailer capable of carrying a bike that they would be kind enough to lend to me for a day? regards El Foamio

as luck would have it peeps, my brother has a towbar mounting frame that he had on his swift (albeit his was a Mk2 and mine is a Mk3), and as i understand it this frame is mounted using fishplates and has been designed to go under the bumper and up, not through it. bonus

My swift is a 2000, and mervin that towbar is for the 95/96 5dr but thanks for trying bud.

i'll be down there, swindon is easily within the capability of the DT but hopefully will have done my full test practicals by then (got put on hold during xmas because of the weather )any idea what time it is?

Down boy!... im'a have to find a few mags to send out, i could well be out there myself soon...
